Since the code checks R15 and issues an error message for Non-Zero (ie: A failure) I wonder why not just go with GETMAIN RC (not RU) to avoid the ABEND since there is a failure trap test in the program. I know that is query is not about what went wrong but IMO it is something that should be addressed when the real reason is found and any needed coding changes are made.
